A+I uses "yin-yang" palette for Squarespace headquarters in New York

黑白色的表皮、室内绿植和一个屋顶工作间共同构成了纽约Squarespace网站服务点的新办公楼。

Squarespace希望在一个空间内容纳四个不同的办公室，因此选择了下曼哈顿区的一栋面积为98000平方英尺（9105㎡）的20世纪20年代的建筑。

Black and white surfaces, indoor trees and a rooftop workspace all feature at the new head office for website building service Squarespace in New York.
Squarespace wanted to house its four different offices in one place so took over 98,000 square feet (9,105 square metres) within a 1920s building in Lower Manhattan.

有着12层高且历史悠久的Maltz大楼之前是一栋印刷大楼，现在其顶部三层容纳了该公司的322名员工。该大楼的室内设计也是由纽约公司A+I设计的。

“我们不仅希望将所有的活动都整合进一个独立的空间，也希望创造出多样化的工作和合作的空间，” Squarespace创始人兼CEO Anthony Casalena说。

Formerly a printing press, the historic, 12-storey Maltz Building now houses the company's 322 employees on the top three floors, with interiors designed by New York firm A+I.
"Not only did we want to come together into a single space, but we also wanted to create more diverse spaces for working and collaborating," said Anthony Casalena, Squarespace founder and CEO.

他传达给设计者的设计要求是“创造一个充满质感、丰富和温暖氛围的空间”。

A+I的团队花了三个月待在这个科技公司来记录员工的需求，最后他们总结出：无论是正式还是非正式的情况下都需要宽敞和多样化的工作环境，当然这在大多数的科技公司办公室都很常见。

His brief to the designers was to "create a space imbued with texture, richness and warmth".
A+I's team spent three months with the tech company to evaluate needs, which they deduced were a wide variety of working environments ranging from formal to informal – common at many offices for tech companies.

“主要的工作模式——独立工作、集中工作和高效合作、团体工作。另外，我们受到阴阳的启发，利用黑白的概念来打造工作空间，” A+I创始人 Dag Folger对Dezeen说。

相似的设计策略也被应用到其他科技公司总部，比如Wix, Pinterest 以及Evernote的办公室空间。

"The dominant modes of working – solitary, focused work and highly collaborative, engaged work – then inspired the yin-yang, black-white concept for the workspace," A+I co-founder Dag Folger told Dezeen.
Similar approaches have been taken at other tech company headquarters, including office spaces for Wix, Pinterest and Evernote.

最终Squarespace的内部呈现出大体是没有色彩的空间，这里混凝土直接作为地板，纤细的黑色木板条覆盖了大部分的墙体和天花板。

植物的引入使得办公室内绿意盎然，深色胡桃木的设置也有助于为这个鲜明色调的室内空间添加一些暖意。

The result at Squarespace is a largely colourless interior, where concrete forms the floors and thin strips of blackened wood cover large portions of the walls and ceilings.
Planting adds splashes of green across the offices, while a dark-coloured walnut wood also helps to add warmth to the otherwise stark material palette.

入口设立了一扇黑色工业风格的门，同时也通向底层的活动空间。

在上层空间，大部分的办公桌都是开放式的，只有会议室用彩色玻璃板隔开了。

Entrance is through a black industrial-style door, which leads to a ground-floor event space.
Upstairs, most of the desk areas are open plan, while meeting rooms are screened off by tinted glass partitions.

当天气好的时候，员工们也可以到屋顶进行工作或者社交。

“我们设计的目标是将人们可以进行工作、思考、合作和社交的空间都有针对性地分散出去，” Folger说。

“事实证明这对于整个工作流程来说是积极而有效的。”

Employees can also head to the rooftop to work and socialise al fresco on days when the weather is good.
"Our designs purposefully spread out the spaces where people do their work, their thinking, their collaborating and their socialising," said Folger. "This has proven to be very impactful and positive for the work flow."

“我们开发的新空间在改变这里的工作氛围上已经持续运作很久了，” Casalena补充道。“这是一个令人印象深刻的空间，同时它也是开放和温暖的。”

A+I工作室是由Folger和 Brad Zimor于1996年创办的。该工作室已经设计了包括Horizon Media 和 Tumblr在内的几个公司的总部办公空间。

"The new spaces we've developed have gone a long way in changing the vibe of working here," added Casalena. "It's definitely an impressive space, but it's also inviting and warm."
A+I was founded in 1996 by Folger and Brad Zimor. The studio has since designed headquarters for companies including Horizon Media and Tumblr.
